Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°F
2

Half your winter squash, scoop insides and brush lightly with oil. Place skin down on pan and bake until fork tender. I used pumpkin and it took about an hour
3

While your squash cooks, we can begin on the rest (time to start depends on your kitchen experience level)
4

Get everything prepped and lined up. Combine broth, wine and half and half in one bowl, seasonings in one bowl, Asiago cheese in one bowl, and flour in one bowl
5

Get a pot ready for your pasta. Once water is boiling, add pasta to cook. Keep an eye on it and remove when Al dente
6

Cook Italian sausage down, set meat aside and keep fat
7

Add flour to reserved fat to make a roux. You may need more or less depending on your sausage.
8

Once you have a light roux, whisk your liquids in (if not enough liquid, add 1/2 cup pasta water followed by more half and half until desired consistency aquired). Add in your seasonings and cheese and let it simmer for a few minutes for flavors to blend well.
9

Remove from heat. Add noodles and meat to cheese sauce
10

Once squash is done baking, remove from oven and dice (be careful, it will be very hot). Add in to pasta mixture and serve. Add on some extra cheese on top if desired
